Microneedling treats conditions like acne scarring, fine lines, wrinkles, and loose skin. It improves texture, pore size, brown spots, stretch marks, and pigment issues. It can also be referred to as skin needling or a collagen induction procedure!

Microneedling is one of the hottest trends in skincare and anti-aging skin treatments. It’s offered at all locations of RejuvaMed in New York, under the direction of Dr. Sonali Lal.

During a microneedling session, a practitioner from RejuvaMed uses fine needles to create tiny pricks in the outermost layer of your skin. This triggers your skin’s natural wound-healing reaction, so old cells slough off and you create new cells more quickly. You also increase your production of collagen and elastin, compounds that make your skin smooth, firm, and strong.

People who want a more youthful, radiant complexion benefit from microneedling. It can prevent and reduce the signs of aging. Microneedling also helps reverse sun damage and minimize the appearance of scars.

Microneedling also improves the delivery of topical serums and anti-aging creams. It stimulates circulation to enhance skin brightness and tone. It’s effective but affordable when compared to invasive surgeries or injectables.

The needles used during the procedure are incredibly tiny, so it’s virtually painless. Numbing cream is applied before the session to reduce any discomfort. Microneedling is incredibly effective in improving the appearance of your skin in a minimally invasive way.

You’ll benefit most from a series of three or more treatments, spaced four to six weeks apart. Our providers will help you determine your exact treatment plan depending on your skin’s condition and aesthetic goals.

You will begin to notice improvements in your skin within one week. Maximal results appear in a few months when the collagen has had a full opportunity to develop and improve your skin’s tone, texture, and firmness.

Immediately following a microneedling session, your skin may be slightly inflamed as if you’re sunburned. You may also notice mild swelling, bruising, or even light, pinpoint bleeding.

This inflammation usually resolves within a few hours, but you may have a slightly pink appearance for up to two days. After a microneedling session, serums and creams may be applied to ease the inflammation. It is especially important to use sunscreen to protect your skin at this time (and always).
